Journey Notes

I awoke to the sound of rain falling lightly on VanGo. That wasn't in the forecast. When it didn't seem like the rain was going to go away quickly, I got ready for a rainy day. Shoe covers, knee warmers, new Walmart light rain jacket, etc. I also got a fairly late start, hoping for the rain to end.

I headed out at about 10am for the first city on the route, Woodstock, Ontario. By the time I got to Woodstock, I was wetter from sweating than from the rain and the rain had finally stopped so I removed the extra layers.

Again, the day consisted of back country roads through farmland with the occasional very small town. I didn't see much population until I passed into the north edge of Hamilton, followed by Burlington and finally Oakville were we found Bronte Creek Provincial Park to camp at.

It is a nice campground but at $42.75 a night, it is the most expensive one that we have stayed at. I guess that is standard pricing for provincial campgrounds in Ontario. I'm used to government run campgrounds being the cheapest places you can stay.

Today was the beginning of our 9th week on the road.

Now that we are in the Toronto area, we will be visiting people in the area so our schedule and route might be a bit erratic.
